Re: THE GRUMBLING IS OVER!

Actually, I'm less worried about what the cause was - in fact, I'm happy that 
the IP filtering worked so well! - but rather that there was no simple way to 
tell from the AS/400 that IP filtering was enabled.  And there might be such a 
way, but if there is, I'm not familiar with it.

To me, anything that can be created "offline" (ACLs, IP filtering, et al) 
should at least have a green-screen status display.  And believe me, if I can 
figure a way to do so, I will definitely create one.  I have to think there's 
an API or some other way to determine whether IP filtering is enabled; a simple 
green screen display showing something like:

Communications
ETHLINE: IP Filtering *ENABLED

That would have saved me literally days of frustration.

  Nearly everything we use on a daily basis has a right and wrong usage.
In this case Joe (or more likely a predecessor or-coworker) enabled a
function withoug proper understanding or documentation of what was done.
